Description
This crochet tulip ornament is a single flower that will stay in bloom, with a closed lilac purple head set on a long green stem and one slender green leaf. The crocheted petals fold together into the familiar cupped tulip shape, so the head looks like a bud just about to open, and the ribbed texture of the stitches gives it a soft, tactile surface. It stands 36cm tall from the end of the stem to the tip of the petals and measures 7cm across and 7cm deep at its widest. The purple and green pairing is gentle rather than bright, so it sits happily beside pale neutrals and deeper colours.
Because it never wilts and needs no water, this tulip is happy in places a fresh flower would struggle: a bookshelf, a bedside table, a desk, a mantelpiece or a windowsill out of strong sun. Pop it in a narrow bud vase, a bottle or a jar of your own and it keeps its shape all year, bringing a note of spring to a room in the middle of winter. It also makes a thoughtful little gift on its own, a flower that lasts long after a bunch from the florist has faded, and it is easy to hand over with a card or tuck into a hamper.
The bloom, the leaf and the stem are all crocheted, with the green stitching carried down the full length of the stem for a neat, soft finish. To keep it looking fresh, dust it with a soft dry brush or cloth, keep it dry, and keep it out of strong direct sunlight, which can dull any textile over time. For a simple gift, wrap the stem in tissue and tie it with a ribbon; at home, a slim clear glass vase shows off its full length of green stem and lets the lilac bloom stand out.
